Every day, donations of sporting equipment are dropped off at our warehouse and sent out into the community.

In order to sort and organize all of these donations, we rely heavily on volunteers.

Volunteers will inventory and sort sports equipment donations from our intake bins. Volunteers will also help staff maintain the organization of the warehouse space by sorting through current inventory and making sure all equipment is in good condition.

A basic understanding of sports equipment is preferred but not required. Typical volunteer shifts last two hours. This opportunity is open to individuals and groups. The age minimum to volunteer is 10 years old. All volunteers under the age of 15 must be accompanied by an adult.

Remember playing tag, soccer, basketball, or kickb Remember playing tag, soccer, basketball, or kickball with new friends at summer camp? Play is a staple of summer, but for many kids there is a financial barrier keeping them on the sidelines.

LPF helps remove this barrier by providing free sports equipment to programs like @camp_jamison

Across three years, Camp Jamison staff picked up 361 pieces of sports equipment from LPF including tennis balls and rackets, cones, skateboards, and basketball gear. The basketball gear from LPF was a game changer for campers who don’t play basketball regularly, and reinforced what Camp Jamison is all about: building skills, relationships, and confidence to navigate life with a purpose.

Through LPF's Summer of Play campaign, you can help us create more cherished sports memories for kids across the country. For every $100 donated, we can equip 20 kids to enjoy all that sports have to offer this summer.

Together, we can provide free gear and a summer of PLAY for 50,000 kids. Check out our story and bio for more info!

Contributions to our Summer of Play campaign suppo Contributions to our Summer of Play campaign supports camps and programs offering popular summer activities like swimming! Teaming with programs like @waves4change.official keeps kids active outside of school, and helps partners maximize their budget for other needs, such as pool time

In one of LPF’s largest distributions ever, Waves4Change received over 30 boxes of brand new boys and girls' swimsuits

Since 2025, LPF has distributed $77,000 worth of swimming gear to Waves4Change! With these donations, kids can focus on what Waves4Change calls "the superhero magic of swimming," without worrying about the costs of proper equipment

We want to continue making memories this summer and we need your help! Learn more by visiting our story and bio
